COURIC: Why isn’t it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries? … Instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?

PALIN: Ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up the economy– Oh, it’s got to be about job creation too. So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions.

She may be a semi-bright person behind the scenes, but she's totally out of her league here.

I would really like to see if someone tries to defend her in this thread. The McCain camp is going to be in trouble if she handles Biden like she did Couric. Its times like these when i really miss Tim Russert. He would have Palin crying and he wouldn't have to be an asshole to do it. He'd just beat her over the head with facts again and again.

Most of us have known this women is an idiot all along. Probably spent too much time in the frozen north. Many of us will also recall that you called 51% of Americans idiots, at the same time you proclaimed "Mcain will win" I look forward to the reaction from our northern friends (who think we're idiots) the day after the election.
